Details: Tillandsia Cyanea, commonly known as Pink Quill, is a houseplant with year-round foliage and a striking centrepiece. Its arching leaves are bright green and surround a long-lasting pink bract resembling a quill. Its violet Summer flowers will only last a few days.
Part of the Bromeliad family, this variety will happily grow as a houseplant and show its versatility and robust nature. It is also native to tropical rainforest environments, so misting between watering is key, whilst also situating it in a bright space with indirect sun.
This baby plant will take a while to mature, but once it does you will see the full benefit of its colourful centre and vibrant foliage. It is a great plant if you're looking to add a burst of colour into a space lacking in character!
Growing your Tillandsia from its baby stage into a mature, healthy plant is all part of the journey that brings joy to all levels of plant enthusiasts up and down the country.
It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
